REVIEW – ST. VINCENT, SHEPHERDS BUSH EMPIRE, LONDON

Surprised how great this was, but can’t help suspecting it would have been even better with a real band rather than session players.

REVIEW – BY:LARM FESTIVAL 2012 AND THE NORDIC MUSIC PRIZE

Overwhelming.


I’d thought – and it felt like – there was more than last year. But there was actually less: just under 180 acts last year, 157 this year. That impression must be to do with the ever-increasing quality of what there is to see – more choices have to be made.

REVIEW – OH LAND, HEAVEN, LONDON

Regarding the release of the album, I checked this with both the British PR and Oh Land’s Danish label - it’s been snuck out on download here, but there’s still no release date set.
